On June 19, 2023, after a thorough audit, document review, site visit and multiple interviews, our University has been granted the ACEEU Engaged University Accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Entrepreneurial & Engaged Universities.

The Engaged University Accreditation is a testament to the University's social and cultural influence in the ecosystem, impact within the community of the city and wider region, development of Third Mission Activities, as well as excellence of policy, and commitment to continuous improvement. PUMS is currently the only medical school in Poland that has been awarded this recognition.

The Accreditation Council for Entrepreneurial and Engaged Universities is currently the only globally-operating quality assurance body with a focus on acknowledging engagement and entrepreneurship of universities, and an official affiliate of the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQUA). Looking through the prism of 15 standards of third mission excellence, ACEEU is evaluating excellence and lauding the domains in which HEIs are excelling and pinpointing weak spots that can be improved. As such, ACEEU strives to usher in a new era for higher education through evaluating, supporting and igniting the potential of HEIs on their road to third mission excellence. Founded within the University Industry Innovation Network (UIIN) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, it has become an independent entity with its headquarters in Münster, Germany, and regional offices across the globe.
